Which statement best defines the solution of a system of two linear equations in two variables?
Rearrange and solve for xx:
−2(3x+4)+5=x−7-2(3x + 4) + 5 = x - 7
Solve the system using substitution: { y = (3/4)x - 2 ; (1/2)x + (3/2)y = 6 }
Consider the system {y=3x−52x+y=7\(\begin{cases}\)y=3x-5\\ 2x+y=7\(\end{cases}\). Perform the substitution and determine the value of xx.
A store sells pens and notebooks. Pens cost \$2 each and notebooks \$3 each. A customer buys some combination totaling \$29 for 11 items. Let p = pens, n = notebooks. If p = 11 - n, substitute and find the number of notebooks bought.
